Frozen Dough Challah Hack
Perfect #CHALLAH every single time!Â
I’m using @rhodesdoughÂ
It’s SUPER SIMPLE. 5 hour rise. 25 minutes in the oven. The end.Â
Fresh Challah at its best without all the hard work and effort.Â
So much better than store bought. I put it up in the morning on Friday and bake right before Shabbos for that crazy fluffy challah bread with a slightly crusty bottom (you can leave on a hot plate till the meal and then the bottom gets really crust – perfect crunch for all our dips!)Â
Let me know if you try this! I find my frozen rolls mainly in Walmart but you can also find them in target. Stop n shop, shop rite and other big chain groceries!Â
Ingredients
Frozen Rhode dough balls – defrosted for 5 hours
sesame seeds
For egg wash:
1 egg
2 tbsp water
1 tsp. Honey or sugar
Instructions
I defrost my balls either in the round tins im Baking them in for round challahs or on  baking sheet if I am rolling them  out into log for a braided challah.
For Round:
6-8 balls in a parchment lined tin. After they have risen, mix your egg wash in a bowl and gently brush the tops with the wash. Garnish with sesame seeds or your favorite topping.
Bake for 25 minutes in 350F
For Braided Challah:
roll out each defrosted ball. Then braid. You can dip on a wet paper towel and into seeds and then use that log to make your braid.
Egg wash and bake for 25 minutes on 350
